IDF: rocket fired from Lebanon at Israel lands harmlessly near town of Shlomi

The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) reported that a rocket fired from Lebanon at Israel landed harmlessly in an open area near the town of Shlomi. The Hezbollah-linked media also reported this incident.

No rocket warning sirens sounded in Israel nor did the mobile phone app warn of the launch and the military said that alert levels in the area remain “normal.”

Over the past several years, there have been a handful of rocket attacks emanating from Lebanon into Israel. Most of these attacks have been blamed on Palestinian Hamassholes in Lebanon, as opposed to Hezbollah terrorists.

Yet it unlikely that terrorists in southern Lebanon would fire rockets at Israel without the approval of the Iran-backed militia, as they have a tight grip over that area.

This latest incident during the Ramadan Bombathon comes during increasing tensions over Al-Aqsa mosque clashes on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem as renewed and indiscriminate rocket attacks are coming from Gaza into Israel.

Hamassholes and other Gaza-based terror groups have repeatedly invoked the Temple Mount, a Jewish holy site, as a red line. Police actions to quell riots there last year were among the triggers of an 11-day war in Gaza last May.
